PHILISTINES – some say the word means INVADERS. Israel seemed to be constantly at war with them.
We, as Christians, are in a constant war against the powers of darkness - against these INVADERS of our minds and spiritual lives.
Ephesians 6v 12
”For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Out of the midst of the Philistines came a giant. Often in the midst of life`s battles a giant also emerges, raging against us and threatening us.
But God had a plan of escape for Israel – his name was David.
And God always has a way of escape for us. His Name is Jesus !
1st Corinthians 10 v 13
“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”
